How to explore Guilin? Here's a 3-day itinerary for an amazing trip!

📷The right way to experience Guilin is not only to admire the mountains and rivers, but also to immerse yourself in the local customs and culture. As Guangxi's "Sanyuesan" Festival is approaching, we recommend this 3-day itinerary to unlock the hidden gems of Guilin's landscapes. 🎊【3-Day Essential Itinerary】 Day 1: Guilin → Shangri-la Chinese Ethnic Culture Park → Shan Shui Yuan → Stay at Yangshuo West Street Day 2: Yangshuo → Longji Rice Terraces (hike and see the water-filled terraces) → Stay at a guesthouse near the rice terraces Day 3: Sunrise at the rice terraces → Yao Mountain (Trip Moments activities with ethnic minorities) → Return to Guilin city center 🎊【Four Must-See Attractions】 1️⃣ Shangri-la Chinese Ethnic Culture Park A real-life version of the Peach Blossom Spring, take a boat ride through the clear waters, with peach blossoms adorning both banks, and the folk songs of Zhuang women echoing through the valley. During the Sanyuesan Festival, there are folk song competitions and bamboo pole dancing experiences. 2⃣️ Yao Mountain A holy land for Trip Moments in the clouds, take a 360° panoramic cable car to the summit of Guilin, where the sea of clouds resembles a fairyland. During the Sanyuesan Festival, there's a special "Zhuang Style Trip Moments" activity! Professional photographers and exquisite ethnic costumes (with gorgeous headdresses) will help you take stunning photos at the viewing platform that will light up your social media. 3⃣️ Longji Rice Terraces The fingerprints of the earth. Take an early bus to Longsheng, where the rice terraces in the morning mist resemble gilded curves. We recommend staying in a stilt house on the mountainside. When you open the window in the morning, you'll be greeted by the mirror-like rice terraces during the irrigation season. The golden ripples at sunrise are breathtaking! 4⃣️ Shan Shui Yuan A concentrated version of Lijiang's beauty, this hidden gem of a garden by the Lijiang River features white walls and black tiles against the backdrop of karst peaks. In the evening, watch the pink sunset from the Wangjiang Pavilion, and you might even encounter an old fisherman rowing a boat with cormorants, instantly transporting you into a traditional Chinese painting. ❤️【Travel Tips】 ✅ The temperature difference between day and night at the Longji Rice Terraces can reach 10°C, so bring a windproof jacket and non-slip hiking shoes. 🌸 This spring, let the landscapes and folk songs of Guilin heal your soul~
